We hear children can get bored easily but we’ve never seen it ourselves! Our inclusive narrow age-band kids’ clubs for ages 2-17 are run by an experienced team who’ll keep them entertained for hours. For the tiny tots (2-3 years), we’ve got Sea Turtles and Sea Urchins. Ages 4-9 years can join the fun with Sea Badgers, Surfbusters, and Sharksters. While the adventure continues for those aged 10-15 years with Stingrays, Surf Squad, and Wave Riders. And for the teens (16-17 years), it’s all about TAG – our exclusive club just for them.
Our two new club age groups, Sea Otters (2-5 years) and Mini Rippers (6-10 years) are available exclusively at Cosmos Beach Club, Neilson x Ravenala Attitude and Neilson x Mangia's Torre del Barone Resort.
Or make the most of our crèche for babies aged 4-23 months, while our Hotshots Club has fully qualified Royal Yachting Association (RYA) instructors to help your kids master windsurfing and dinghy sailing (both clubs available for a little extra).
With over 60 hours of free childcare included per week, we’ve got something up our sleeves for tots, teens and everyone in between on our family activity holidays.

Our kids' club team
Our experienced childcare team look after children aged 4 months upwards in separate clubs, ranging from our Starfish creche for babies aged 4-24 months old right up to our cool TAG activity club for teens aged 16 and 17 years. They even run sleep clubs and provide free evening care a few nights a week.
So, put parental guilt to one side and watch your children grow in confidence, make new friends and generally have a whale of a time as they have a go at a huge range of exciting holiday activities for kids. There's a full day of adventure on offer 6 days a week, but feel free to sign your little ones in and out as you like throughout the day.`
Our children's clubs are always popular, so make sure you pre-book before you go to secure space in the club your children want.
Holiday activities and children's clubs
Hop in a kayak, enjoy a game of tennis, scale the climbing wall, head off on a family bike ride, or simply splash around in the pool or on the beach. As your children get older and more confident, you can expand their horizons further with activities such as rock climbing (for ages 8 upwards) and water skiing (children must be at least 120cm tall). There are plenty of ways to make lovely memories together.
Joining the fun at the children's club is a great way to get stuck into new sports and activities. Our skilled team of early years leaders and activity leaders know how to keep the children in their club safe and entertained, whether building a sandcastle with the babies or teaching older kids to sail. Each club lays on age-appropriate activities to suit the children in their care.

Extra care
We want all children to be able to do their thing to the max! The activities we offer in our kids' clubs are full of fun and adventure, with the health and well-being of the children at the heart of it.
Large groups, new environments and exciting activities can sometimes be a little over whelming for children with additional needs, even if they thrive in main stream education. When this is the case, they may benefit from our one-to-one care service. This service is designed to ensure all children are getting the incredible level of care they deserve, as well as being able to safely enjoy activities as part of a group along with their new friends.
You'll find more detail and our one-to-one childcare request form here. Or you can talk to us on 0333 014 3351 about the one-to-one care service.
Good to know
Sign your children in and out of club at will. Daily schedules of activities are outside the clubrooms, so see exactly what's in store for the day. The clubs are popular, with limited places - so pre-book. Outside of club, children must get permission from their parents/guardians and the beach supervisor before using the watersports equipment. Children aged 14+ can join adult sessions.
Children in clubs (not TAG) receive a rash vest. Starfish, Sea Urchins, Sea Badgers, Surfbusters, Sharksters and Stingrays also get a sun hat and drawstring bag. Please pack their swimming stuff, towel, sun cream and spare clothes.
If your child falls ill, you must take over care until there is no risk of the illness spreading (a doctors certificate may be required). Each club runs subject to minimum numbers. If numbers are low, we may combine clubs. If numbers for Wave Riders and TAG are low, we may run a reduced programme of activities.
A fantastic holiday.

All fantastic, kids club brilliant couldn’t get our son to leave! Big thanks to Dylan and Alice in sea badgers!
Only fault was the pool temperature we brought a 5 months old baby with us and even with a wet suit on the water was just too cold for him which was a real shame as he loves swimming.

Another great week spent at a Neilson Beachclub, the perfect holiday for a couple who aren't holiday compatible. Beautiful beaches, lovely sunsets and great facilities. For one it's all about the sports and the other the beach, but together its the great food,facilities and culture that are on offer, so much so we describe it as a 'kids club for a husband'.
